Dear Dick and committee,

Thanks for all you do. I know I can learn a lot from all of you and am thankful for the opportunity to do something other than complain about modern politics. I will do my best to be available for the committee meetings as they are scheduled. (Appreciate your reminders) I downloaded the 2010 platform from the GOP website and read it Tuesday night in preparation for the Wednesday night meeting. I was actually very impressed with it as it is. The only thing I…

Do you know that the popular vote is not what counts?    A candidate needs about 1200 delegates to win the nomination. So far, Ron Paul has 9, Romney has about 28.  There is  Some where around 2500, delegates. Most states decide delegates some what by the popular vote, but there are two states like Florida that the winner takes all. Except for those mentioned above, those delegates are all up for grabs. None of the other candidates are registered in enough states to be in a position  to get…

There is no better way to enjoy performing duties in the office than the use of a fast computer. It becomes easy to locate files and sort them. If you are looking for a vital file, you will find it within a short time.  This will also reflect on your performance of your duties. The fact remains not all this is possible if you do not have a fast computer. You need to empower your PC and make it as good as new. Luckily, there are new programs and software you can include in your PC and make it…

Freedom is difficult, but it is not complicated. Either you wish to make your own choices in life (freedom) or you wish to let others make them for you (government).

Ron Paul likes to say “freedom is popular” and he is right, when it comes to our own freedom; none of us wants someone else to spend our money and tell us what to do. That’s not complicated. It is when we think about extending that same courtesy to those who spend their money in ways we find offensive (buy drugs, for…

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Asheville, NC (December 20, 2011) — With an approval rating of 95%, Dr. Dan Eichenbaum  recently became the first and only congressional candidate for North Carolina’s District 11 to be endorsed by national citizen-led vetting organization Independent Caucus.  The ICaucus process required Eichenbaum to submit his…

Among the many ways the fairtax beings fairness to taxation is it introduces fair trade to free trade. Currently over 98% of everything that is imported into this country comes from a country that has a border adjustment in their tax code.



China reimburses their exporters up to 17% of the cost of their products to remove the cost of their VAT from their exports while charging the same 17% to imports. Mexico does the same with a 16% VAT, Canada with a 13% goods and service tax,…

    This is definately a group that the FairTax should contact and try to influence. We already know the FairTax is the answer not only for the American citizen, but for American business as well.

    How do we best go about this? Your input is desired.

Heritage announces its new tax plan -- The New Flat Tax--Easy as One, Two, Three 

Everybody has an opinion about trade with China, and here is mine: let’s trade ‘em Ben Bernanke for Fu Ying. Throw in a minor league pitcher if we have to – President Obama comes immediately to mind.

Fu Ying is China’s Vice Foreign Minister, who Friday announced that China would not use its foreign exchange reserves (i.e. dollars) to rescue other countries (i.e. Europe). She explained that “foreign reserves are akin to savings” and not to be squandered by governments.…

I have an acquaintance that is a CPA.  Although we get along very well, I really can’t call him a friend.  The main reason is that I’m a gung-ho conservative who is dead set against the Federal Income Tax.  Conversely, he is dead set against the FAIR TAX, a national consumption tax and totally infatuated with the IRS and income tax. 

          My idea of an ideal governmental situation is no income tax, no FAIR TAX and no flat tax.  Collect taxes the same way that it was done prior to…

I don't know about the rest of you. I have had enough to last my kids lifetime. They will here from me for the Fair Tax.

A FACINATING FACET

Let's rebrand the flat tax to the “Drug Dealer Relief Act” since criminals will never pay income taxes, flat or not. Then refer to it that way every time. When anyone says flat tax, you say "You men the drug dealer relief act".  Feel free to disseminate this re-branding far and wide.

Even Plato knew…
